Pioneering child heart surgery performed for first time in Poland
December 23rd, 2019
The first ever innovative operation to implant a stent graft that grows together with the child has been performed at the Child Cardiological Clinic at the University Children's Hospital in Krakow-Prokocim, southern Poland. The low-invasive surgery was performed on a still growing 14-year-old girl due to numerous thoracic aortic aneurysms. A so-called stent graft is an artificial blood vessel implanted into the aorta where the aneurisms, or excessive expansions of the vessel, are occurring.
